Testing And Adjusting

Power Shift Transmission

When some tests and adjustments are made to the
transmission, the parking brake must be OFF. To
prevent movement of the machine and personal
injury, do the procedure that follows:

1. Lower the bulldozer and ripper to the ground.

2. Put blocks in front of and behind the tracks.
3. Let only approved personnel on the machine and
keep other personnel off of the machine and in clear

view of the operator.

4. When testing must be done in a closed area and
whenever possible, activate the service brakes if the
parking brake cannot be used.
NOTE: All tests and adjustments must be made with the
oil in the power train hydraulic system at normal
temperature for operation. Make sure that the linkage
adjustments are correct before any tests are made.
Many of the pressure taps for testing the power train
hydraulic system have quick disconnect couplings
already installed.
Do not connect or disconnect the couplings when there
is pressure in the system. This will prevent damage to
the seal that is in the coupling.

not, make rod assembly (1) shorter.
4. Do Step 1 again, if rod assembly adjustments were
needed.

Implement And Steering Hydraulic

System Testing And Adjusting
Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil
under pressure can cause injury to persons on or
near the machine. To prevent possible injury, do the
procedure that follows before testing and adjustment
the hydraulic system.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location.

Move away from working machines and personnel and
lower implements to the ground.
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all
other personnel either away from the machine or in

view of the operator.

3. Activate the parking brake. With the parking brake
activated the steering tiller handle cannot be moved. If
the parking brake is OFF and the engine is running, the
tractor will turn when the steering tiller handle is
moved. Activatethe service brakes to prevent tractor
movement.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Move the implement control levers to all positions to
release the pressure in the hydraulic system.
6. Carefully loosen the filler cap on the hydraulic tank
to release the pressure in the tank.
7. Make sure all hydraulic pressure is released before
any fitting, hose or component is loosened, tightened,
removed or adjusted.
8. Tighten the filler cap on the hydraulic tank.
9. The pressure in the system has now been released
and lines or components can be removed.

During a diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember

that correct oil flow and pressure are necessary for
correct operation. Oil pressure is caused by resistance
to the flow of oil.
Visual checks and measurements are the first step
when troubleshooting a possible problem. Then do the
Operation Checks and last the Instrument Tests.
Use the 1U5796 and 6V4161 Hydraulic Test Groups, a
stop watch, a magnet, a thermometer and a mm (inch)
ruler for basic tests to measure:
1. The opening pressure of the pressure limiter valves
for the implement circuits and pump cut-off valve for
the steering circuit. Pressure limiter valve and pump
cut-off valve pressures that are too low will cause
adecrease in the lift, dig, rip and steering characteristics
of the machine. Opening pressures that are too high will
cause a decrease in the life of hoses and components.
2. Drift rates in the implement circuits: Circuit drift is
caused by leakage past cylinder pistons, control valve
spools, load check valves or make-up valves. Excessive
drift can be caused by problem with any one or
combination of components.

3. Cycle times in the implement circuits: Cycle times

that are longer than shown in the charts are the result
of leakage, pump wear and/or pump speed (rpm). If the
basic operation checks indicate excessive
circuitleakage, then pressure tests are needed to
determine which components have a problem.

Do not check for leaks with your hands. Pin hole (very
small) leaks can result in a high velocity oil stream
that will be invisible close to the hose. This oil can
penetrate the skin and cause personal injury.
Usecardboard or paper to locate pin hole leaks, but
do not check for pin hole leaks in pump or motor
hoses during steer stall condition.

Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the hydraulic system and its
components is the first step when a diagnosis of a
problem is made. Stop the engine, lower the blade and
the ripper to the ground. To remove the tank filler
cap,slowly turn the filler cap until it is loose. If oil
comes out the bleed hole, let the tank pressure lower
before the filler cap is removed. Make the following
inspections:
1. Measure the oil lever.

2. Look for air in the oil that is in the tank. Do this

immediately after the machine is stopped. Use a clear
bottle or container to get a sample of the oil. Look for
air bubbles in the oil that is in the bottle.
3. Remove the filter elements and look for particles
removed from the oil by the filter element. A magnet
will separate ferrous particles from nonferrous
particles (piston rings, O-ring seals, etc.).
4. Inspect all oil lines and connections for damage or
leaks.
5. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken or damaged
components.

Implement Operation Checks

Make reference to WARNING on the first page of the
Testing and Adjusting section.

The operation checks can be used to find leakage in the

system. They can also be used to find a bad valve or
pump. The speed of rod movement when the cylinders
move can be used to check the condition of the
cylinders and the pump.

Raise and lower the blade and ripper several times.

Operate the tilt control valve until the tilt cylinder is
fully extended and retracted several times.
1. Watch the cylinders as they are extended and
retracted. Movement must be smooth and regular.
2. Check for noise from the pump.
3. Check for the sound of the opening. The opening
pressures of the pressure limiter valves are given in the
subject, Pressure Tests Of The Pressure Limiter Valves.

Cylinder Speed Tests

The oil in the system must be SAE 10 and at a
temperature of 65 3C (150 5F) to get correct results.
All speed tests are made with the engine at maximum
rpm.
System speeds that are the same as those given in the
chart is an indiction that the circuit operation is
normal. The pressure limiter valves must be tested to be
sure that the opening pressure of each is correct. (See
chart for settings).
If all the cylinder speeds are slow, check the steering
circuit to see if the problem is in the pump or steering

motor.

If the cylinder speeds are not correct:

1. If only one of the cylinder speeds is slow, check that
circuit for cylinder drift.
2. If all the cylinder speeds are slow, check the steering
circuit to see if the pump signal is plugged or if the
pump has a problem.

Drift Tests For Bulldozer Lift Cylinders

Test No. 1: Raise the front of the machine off the

ground by lowering a level blade. Put the control lever
in HOLD position. Shut off the engine and watch the lift
cylinder rods for movement.
Test No. 2: Raise the front of the machine off the
ground by lowering a level blade. Shut off the engine.
Hold the lift control lever in LOWER position. Watch the
lift cylinder rods for movement.
Test No. 3: Raise the blade off the ground. Put the
control lever in HOLD position. Shut off the engine and
watch the lift cylinder rods for movement.
Test No. 4: Raise the blade off the ground. Shut off the
engine. Hold the lift control lever in RAISE position.
Watch the lift cylinder rods for movement.

Drift Tests For Bulldozer Tilt Cylinder

Test No. 1: Put the blade flat on the ground. Raise the
front of the machine off the ground by lowering the
right side of the blade (TILT RIGHT). Put the tilt circuit
in HOLD position. Shut off engine and watch the tilt
cylinder rod for movement.
Test No. 2: Put the blade flat on the ground. Raise the
front of the machine off the ground by lowering the left
side of the blade (TILT LEFT). Put the tilt circuit in

HOLD position. Shut off the engine and watch the tilt
cylinder rod for movement.

Drift Tests For Ripper Lift Cylinders

Test No. 1: Raise the rear of the machine off the ground
by lowering the ripper. Put the ripper control lever in
HOLD position. Shut off the engine and watch the
ripper lift cylinder rods for movement.
Test No. 2: Raise the ripper off the ground. Put the
control lever in HOLD position. Shut off the engine and
watch the ripper lift cylinder rods for movement.

Steering Operation Checks

Steering operation checks are indications that the
steering circuit operation is normal. The sprocket speed
and steering turn checks are the checks that will give an
indication of steering circuit problems.

To prevent possible personal injury, keep all

personnel away from the machine or in view of the
operator which the machine is in operation during
steering checks.

Steering Turn Diameter Check

1. Move the tractor to a flat and dry open area. Make
sure the underfoot conditions are such that a limited
amount of track slip will be present when turning the
tractor. Make sure the steering linkage is correctly
adjusted.

2. Start and run the engine at maximum rpm. Raise all

the implements to the full Raise position if so equipped.
3. Release the parking brake and put the transmission is
FIRST SPEED FORWARD.
4. Move to steering control handle the Full Steer Left
position.
5. Make a full 360 turn.
6. Stop the tractor after the full turn, lower all
implements to the ground (if equipped) and stop the
engine.
7. Measure distance (A) as shown. Distance (A) should
be 1.8 to 2.3 m (5.9 to 7.5 ft).
8. Do Steps 1 through 7 again with steering control
handle at Full Steer Right position.
9. Do Steps 1 through 6 again with steering control
handle at full Steer Right and full Steer Left positions
with the bulldoezer control lever held in the full Raise
position.

10. Measure distance (A) as shown. Distance (A) should

be 4.8 to 6.0 m (16 to 20 ft.).

Full Turn Diameter

(A)Diameter of the turn

11. If distance (A) is too wide after Steps 1 through 8,

check steering linkage, pump, steering motor, control
valve, and counterbalance valve for correct operation.
If distance (A) is too wide after Step 9 and 10, check
thepriority flow control valve in the steering control
valve.
12. If a problem has been indicated by this check, use
Diagnostic Instrument Test to get a more accurate
indication to where the specific problem exists.

Sprocket Speed Checks

NOTE: This check should be used primarily in a shop
area after a tractor has been repaired or rebuilt.
1. Move tractor to flat and open area. Lower the
implements to the ground and stop engine.
2. Separate the tracks and remove from the final drive
sprockets. See Power Train Disassembly and Assembly
Form No. SENR4176.
3. Before checks are made, make sure the steering
linkage is correctly adjusted. Also put a mark on both
final drives, so the number of revolutions they make
can be counted.
4. Start the engine and run at maximum rpm.
5. Release parking brake and move the steering control
lever to the Full Steer Right position with transmission
in Neutral.
6. With a stopwatch, count the number of revolutions
the left and right side sprockets make in a minute.
Subtract the right sprocket speed from the left sprocket
speed. Forward rotation is positive and reverse

rotationis negative. The speed difference between left

sprocket and right sprocket should be 20.5 1.1 rpm.
This step checks the pumps flow through the system.

7. Now add the left sprocket speed and right sprocket

speed. The sum should be 3.5 rpm. This step checks
the mechanical drag balance between left and right
sprockets.

8. Do Steps 5, 6 and 7 again but move the steering

control lever to Full Steer Left position. Sprocket speed
difference for Full Steer Left position should be -20.5
1.1 rpm.
9. If sprocket speeds are not within the tolerances,
check component operation; pump, steering motor,
control valve, and counterbalance valve. If Step 6 is low,

check the engine speed, leaks in signal systemand

priority flow control valve in steering control valve. If
Step 6 is high, check the priority flow control valve and
compensator valve adjustments. If Step 7 is out of
tolerance, excessive mechanical drag may be presentin
differential steer unit and final drives.
10. If a problem has been indicated by this check, use
Diagnostic Instruments Test to get a more accurate
indication to where the specific problem exists.
11. When checks, tests and adjustments (if necessary)
are complete, stop engine, remove all test equipment
and connect the track.

Diagnostic Instrument Tests

This test is used mainly to determine where a problem
may exist in the steering hydraulic circuit. It also gives
some indication of a problem in an implement circuit.

Make reference to the Warning on the first page of

testing and adjusting section. Also, always replace
floor plate when performing tests and whenever
possible perform tests with oil temperature below
66C (150F) to prevent serious burns. Do not hold
gauges in hand or lap when recording pressure
readings.

1U5796 Pressure Differential (Delta P) Gauge

Group.6V3121 Multitach Group.
1. Move tractor to a flat and open area. Lower all
implements to the ground and stop engine.
2. Remove floor plate and install a 1U5755 Hose
Assembly on pressure tap (1) and (2).

Hydraulic Pump
(1) Pressure tap (pump discharge). (2) Pressure tap (signal oil).

3. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the 1U5793

Delta P (Delta P) Gauge. Connect the hose from pressure
tap (1) to the tee side of the Delta P gauge. Connect the
hose from pressure tap (2) to the elbow side of the Delta
P gauge.
4. Install a 60 000 kPa (8700 psi) gauge on the tee side of
the Delta P gauge.

5. Make sure the steering linkage is correctly adjusted.

See Low Pressure Standby Test in this section.
6. Install the floor plate.
7. Install multitach on the engines tach drive.
8. Start and run the engine at maximum rpm. Record
rpm, the reading should be 2280 50 rpm. Check
Vehicle Fuel Specifications (Zero T) for most current
specification for engine.
9. With engine still at maximum rpm, move the
bulldozer control lever to a position in between Hold
and Full Raise positions. Record the reading on Delta P
gauge while the bulldozer blade is still moving up.
Thereading on the Delta P gauge is margin pressure or
the difference between pump discharge pressure and
the signal pressure from the control valve. The margin
pressure should be 2100 275 kPa (305 40 psi). If the
margin pressure is not correct, then see Compensator
Valve Adjustments/Margin Pressure Adjustment for the
correct procedure to make an adjustment. If the margin
pressure is adjusted, the differential pressure setting
should be held to 2100 70 kPa (305 10 psi).

10. Lower bulldozer blade to the ground and leave all

implement control levers in the Hold position.
11. Release the parking brake and fully activate the
service brakes. Make sure the transmission is in
neutral, both speed and direction.
12. With engine at maximum rpm move steering
control handle to the Mid Steer Right position. This puts
the hydraulic system in a steer stall condition.
NOTE: The tractor must not move, if it does the brake
system must be checked.
13. With the tractor in a steer stall condition, record the
following readings:
A. Pump discharge pressure (read gauge on tee side of
Delta P gauge).
B. Engine rpm.
C. Pressure on Delta P gauge.
14. Readings from Step 13 should be as follows:

A. 38 000 550 kPa (5510 80 psi).

B. 40 rpm or less below the reading recorded in Step 8.
C. 50 psi maximum with a maximum oil temperature of
66C (150F).
If all readings are within specification, the steering
hydraulic circuit should be alright but there still could
be a problem in the individual implement circuits. If a
steering problem still exists, it could be a
mechanicalproblem in the steering differential unit or
the final drives. A continued implement circuit problem
could be a pressure limiter adjusted incorrectly or
cylinder wear.
If reading (A) is too high or too low;
1. The pressure cut-off needs to be adjusted, see
Compensator Valve Adjustments/Pressure Cut-Off
Adjustment in this section.
NOTE: If the pressure cut-off cannot be adjusted down,
the pump or compensator valve is failed.
If reading (A) is correct or too low, reading (B) is correct
and reading (C) is too high; this indicates a leak(s) in the

signal network between the steering control valve and

the compensator valve. The causes for the leak(s) could
be the following.
1. Seals on shuttle valve in steering control valve.
2. Dirt or foreign material in shuttle valve in steering
control valve.
3. Seal on plug at the end of the steering valve spool.
4. Seals on sleeve behind priority flow control valve
spring in the steering control valve.
5. Dirt or foreign material in orifice in signal line
between the inlet manifold and compensator valve.
6. Compensator valve. Do the Pump Load Test to make
sure.
7. Steering valve spool or spool bore badly scratched.
If reading (B) is not correct and reading (A) is correct or
too low; this indicates excessive power use by the pump
in the Steer Stall Condition. The causes for this could be
the following:

1. Setting of main relief valve is too low or valve is

leaking. See Main Relief And Crossover Relief Valve
Tests in this section.
2. Setting of crossover relief valve(s) in counterbalance
valve is/are too low. See Main Relief And crossover
Relief Valve Tests in this section.
3. Makeup valves in steering control valve are leaking.
4. Pump is failed. Do a Pump Load Test to make sure.
5. Steering motor is failed.
15. Do Steps 10 through 13 again with the steering
handle at the Mid Steer Left position.
16. Remove test equipment after all tests, adjustments
and needed repairs are completed.

Pump Discharge Pressure Tests

Pump discharge pressures are known values and can be
tested. These tests are low pressure standby test, high
pressure stall test, margin pressure test, case drain
pressure test and pump load test.

Make reference to the Warning on the first page of

testing and adjusting section. Also, always replace
floor plate when performing tests and whenever
possible perform tests with oil temperature below
66C (150F) to prevent serious burns. Do not hold
pressure gauges in hand or lap when checking
pressure readings.

Low Pressure Standby Test

6V7830 Tetragauge Gauge
1. Remove the floor plate from the tractor.

Pressure Tap (1)

2. Install tetragauge on pressure tap (1) and install the

floor plate.
3. Start the engine and run at minimum rpm. Make sure
parking brake is in the ON position.

4. Leave all control levers in Hold position.

5. The pressure reading on the tetragauge should be
approximately 3000 kPa (435 psi). This is the pumps
pressure output in the low pressure standby condition.
If the pressure reading is below 2100 kPa (305 psi) or
above 3700 kPa (535 psi), check the margin pressure
setting. See Margin Pressure Test in this section.
6. Move the steering control handle back and forth
against the stop in the parking brake linkage. If the
pressure reading on the tetragauge increases, the
steering linkage should be adjusted.
7. Adjustments to the pump output should not be made
based on the results of this test. If the results are not
correct, the Margin Pressure Test should be run.

High Pressure Stall Test

1U5796 Pressure Differential (Delta P) Gauge Group
1. Remove the floor plate from the tractor.
2. Install a 1U5755 Hose Assembly on pressure tap (1)
and pressure tap (2). Connect the other ends of the

(2)Pressure tap.

3. Install the 8T861 Gauge on the tee side of the Delta P

gauge.
4. Install the floor plate.
5. Start the engine and run at maximum rpm. Release
the parking brake and activate the service brakes.
6. Move the steering control handle to a position in
between Hold and the Mid Steer Left position.
7. The pressure reading on the 8T861 Gauge should be
38 000 550 kPa (5510 80 psi). This is the pumps
pressure output in the high pressure stall condition. The

pressure reading on the Delta P gauge should be less

than 345 kPa (50 psi) at a maximum oil temperature of
66C (150F).
8. If the high pressure reading is not correct, then the
pressure cutoff spool should be adjusted. See
Compensator Valve Adjustments. If the pressure
reading on the Delta P gauge is high and the high
pressure reading is correct or too low, this indicates a
leak(s) in the signal network. See Diagnostic Instrument
Tests for more information.

Margin Pressure Test

1. Remove the floor plate from the tractor.
2. Install a 1U5755 Hose Assembly on pressure tap (1)
and (2). Connect the other ends of hoses to the 1U5793
Delta P (Delta P) Gauge. Connect the hose from pressure
tap (1) to the tee side of the Delta P gauge. Connect the
hose from pressure tap (2) to the elbow side of the Delta
P gauge.
3. Install the 8T861 Gauge on the tee side of the Delta P
gauge.

4. Install the floor plate.

5. Start and run the engine at maximum rpm. Make
sure the parking brake is ON and the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
6. Move the bulldozer control lever to a position in
between HOLD and FULL RAISE positions. Read the
pressure on the Delta P gauge. This is the margin
pressure or the difference between pump discharge
pressure and the signal pressure from the control valve.
The margin pressure should be 2100 275 kPa (305 40
psi).
7. If the margin pressure is not correct, then see
Compensator Valve Adjustments/Margin Pressure
Adjustment for the correct procedure to make an
adjustment. If the margin pressure is adjusted, the
differential pressure setting should be held to 2100 70
kPa (305 10 psi).

Pump Load Test

This test is a final test to determine if the pump or
compensator valve is bad. This test should be done only
after the compensator valve and main relief valve have
been checked for correct operation.

5. Connect signal line (3) to connector (4) on the Test
Tee. This makes the pump outlet the load signal to the
compensator valve.
6. Connect a 1U5755 Hose Assembly to pressure tap (2).
Connect the nipple assembly to the other end of the
hose assembly and put this end in a container or in a
position to allow oil to run out on the ground.
7. Make sure the transmission is in Neutral and the
parking brake is ON. Move the governor lever to the
OFF position, so the engine will not start. With the
bulldozer control lever held in the RAISE position,

turn(crank) the engine over with the starter until a

clear stream of oil comes out of the hose assembly. This
will remove (purge) any air that is in the signal line.
NOTE: The bulldozer blade will raise when the engine
is turned (cranked) over.
8. Stop turning (cranking) the engine and lower the
bulldozer blade to the ground. Remove the nipple
assembly from the hose assembly and connect the hose
assembly to the elbow side of the 1U5793 Pressure
Differential (Delta P) Gauge.
9. Connect the other end of 1U5755 Hose Assembly on
the pressure tap (5) to the tee side of the delta P (Delta
P) gauge. Put a 0 to 60 000 kPa (0 to 8700 psi) pressure
gauge on the other pressure tap on the tee side of the
Delta P gauge.
10. Move the governor lever to the DECELERATE
position. With the bulldozer control lever in the RAISE
position, start the engine.
NOTE: The bulldozer blade will raise when the engine
is started.

11. After the engine starts, move the bulldozer control

lever to the HOLD position. This puts the pump in the
High Pressure Stall condition. Record the pressure
readings on both pressure gauges and stop the engine.
12. The pressure readings on the gauges should be as
follows:
A. Pump discharge reading (gauge on the tee side of the
Delta P gauge) should be 38 000 550 kPa (5510 80
psi).
B. Pressure differential reading (Delta P gauge) should
be 550 kPa (80 psi) or less.
If the engine stalls (dies) when the bulldozer control
lever is moved to the HOLD position, the pump is failed
and should be replaced.
If reading (A) is low and reading (B) is correct, the
compensator valve should be adjusted and Steps 10 and
11 should be done again. See Compensator
Adjustments/Pressure Cutoff Spool Adjustment in this
section. If the pump discharge pressure cannot be
increased through adjustments to the compensator
valve, the pump is failed and should be replaced.

If reading (B) is high, the compensator valve should be

replaced.

Compensator Valve Adjustments

The compensator valve on the pump can be tested by
running one of the pump discharge tests. The high
pressure stall will tell if the pressure cut-off spool needs
to be adjusted. The margin pressure test will tell if the
margin spool needs to be adjusted.

Make reference to the Warning on the first page of

Testing and Adjusting section and do not make
compensator valve adjustments with the engine
running.

Main Relief And Crossover Relief Valves Test

The pressure settings for the main relief and crossover
relief valves (located on the counterbalance valve) are
higher than the pumps cut-off pressure setting.
Therefore normal system pressures will not open these
relief valves. A test to check for low pressure settings
can be done by checking engine rpm during given
conditions.

To prevent possible personal injury, keep all

personnel away from the machine or in view of the
operator while the machine is in operation during
engine checks. Also do not attempt to adjust the main
relief or crossover relief valves on the machine with
the engine running.

6V3121 Multitach Group

1. Move the tractor to an open area, lower all
implements to the ground, activate parking brake and
stop engine.
2. Install 6V3121 Multitach on the tach drive.
3. Start and run engine at maximum rpm.
4. Record the maximum rpm reading on the tach.

5. Release parking brake and activate service brakes.

Move the steering control handle to Mid Steer Left
position and then to Mid Steer Right position.
6. Record the rpm reading on the tach at each control
handle position.
If the difference in the rpm readings from maximum
rpm is more than 40 rpm at both control handle
positions, then the main relief or both crossover relief
valves may have low pressure setting.
If the rpm reading one control handle position is less
than 40 rpm and over 40 rpm at the other position, then
one of the crossover relief valves has a low pressure
setting or a makeup valve may be leaking in the
steering control valve.
7. To determine if the main relief or both crossover
relief valves have low pressure settings, the main relief
valve should be turned in exactly 1/4 revolution. Then
do Steps 5 and 6 again.

Counterbalance Valve
(1) Crossover relief valve for right turn. (2) Crossover relief valve for
left turn.

8. If both rpm readings are less than 40 rpm from

maximum rpm, then the main relief valve has to be
replaced or adjusted on a test bench.
If both rpm readings are over 40 rpm from maximum
rpm, then replace or inspect the main relief valve and
do Steps 5 and 6 again.
If both readings remain over 40 rpm from maximum
rpm, then replace or inspect both crossover relief
valves.
If the rpm reading for the mid Steer Left position is over
40 rpm from maximum, then crossover relief valve (2)

or the one toward the right side of the tractor, should be

replaced or adjusted on a test bench.
If the rpm reading for the mid Steer Right position is
over 40 rpm from maximum rpm, then crossover relief
valve (1) or toward the left side of the tractor, should be
replaced or adjusted on a test bench.
9. Turn the main relief back out 1/4 revolution, if it was
not replaced in Step 8.

Implement And Steering Pump Stop Screw

Adjustments
The minimum and maximum stop screws in the pump
are to be set using the following method:

Implement And Steering Hydraulic Pump

(1) Minimum stop screw. (2) Maximum stop screw.

Minimum Stop Screw

1. Remove the floor plate from the tractor.
2. Put all implement and steering control levers and
handle in the Hold position.
3. Start and run the engine at maximum rpm.
4. Loosen the locknut and turn minimum stop screw (1)
in until it contacts the small actuator piston.
5. Then turn the stop screw back out 1/2 turn and
tighten the locknut.
6. Stop the engine and install the floor plate.

Maximum Stop Screw

The maximum stop screw must be set using a flow
meter or a hydraulic test bench to obtain a flow of 281
2 liter/min (74 .5 U.S. gpm) at 7000 kPa (1000 psi) while
the pump is turning at 2231 rpm.

Adjustment Of Steering Motor Rotary Group

Motor Rotary Group

(1) Port plage. (2) Cylinder barrel. (3) Spacer. (4) Center pin. (5)
Compression springs (four). (6) Piston (seven). (7) Shaft. (8) Bearings.
(9) Shims. (10) Cover assembly. (11) Ring.

The steering motor rotary group is divided into a

mechanical drive group [shaft (7), bearings (8) and
cover (10)] and a hydraulic group [barrel (2), port plate
(1), spacer (3), compression springs (5), pistons (6) and
center pin (4)].
If parts of the motor are serviced, there are two critical
dimensions which should be checked in assembling the
motor rotary group. Shims (9) on the mechanical drive
group and one of four spacers (3) on the hydraulic
group are used to get these respective dimensions.

At this point in time, the mechanical drive group is a

nonserviceable group except for the cover assembly
(10).
NOTICE

To prevent damage to the motor, it is very important

that the cases are filled with hydraulic oil at least to
the fill port before operation.

Use the following chart for adjustment dimensions in

servicing the rotary group.

(13) Gauge blocks. (14) Support.

This shim adjustment is necessary to maintain an exact

angle between the center lines of drive shaft (7) and

center pin (4). In turn, this maintains the proper

alignment between the barrel (2) and its pistons (6).

Measurement for Shim Thickness

(14) Support. (15) Cover. (16) Ring location. (17) Shims. (18) Boss.

Place support (14) on a surface plate. Position the gauge

indicator in position over the gauge blocks and zero the
dial.
Position the mechanical drive group on support (14) so
that boss (18) is located over the hole in the support.
Place cover (15) (without the seal and O-ring) on the

drive group. Do not install the ring at location (16).

Adjustment Of Lift-Off Limitation (Cylinder Barrel

To Port Plate Maximum Separation)
Tools Needed:

Spacer (3) to pin (4) clearance in combination with the

compression springs (5) maintain the correct barrel (2)

to port plate (1) maximum separation. This maximum

separation limits leakage during start up and downhill
operation.
This adjustment procedure determines the correct size
of spacer to get the distance (B) between the center pin
(center of pivot head) and the centering pin (12). With
the correct distance (B) clearance (C) between spacer (3)
and center pin (4) will be 0.10 to 0.25 mm(.004 to .010
in.)

Setup Of Dial Indicator

(13) Gauge blocks. (19) Support.

Place support (19) on a surface plate. Using gauge

blocks (13), build up the dimension (B) as listed in the
above chart. Set up the dial indicator and zero.

Installation Of Spacer
(1) Port plate. (2) Cylinder barrel. (3) Spacer. (20) Wire (21) Cylinder.

Using a piece of wire (20), guide the spacer (3)

(minimum thickness) into center pin cylinder (21) of
barrel (2). Place center pin in cylinder (21) without
compression springs (5).
NOTICE

To avoid damage to center pin (4) and support (19) in

the next step, place measuring kit cylinder (24) over

support and lay cylinder on its side (horizontal).

Measurement For Spacer Thickness

(1) Port plate. (2) Cylinder barrel. (3) Spacer. (4) Center pin. (12)
Centering pin. (19) Support. (22) Centering disc. (23) Lifting screws.
(24) Measuring kit cylinder. (25) Centering hole.

Insert barrel (2), spacer (3) and center pin (4) into the
centering hole (25) in support (19). Stand cylinder in a
vertical position. Insert centering pin (12) in port plate
(1) and barrel (2). Position centering disc (22) [with two

lifting screws (23)] over the port plate. Slide this

assembly under the dial indicator.
The dial indicator must read between -0.10 mm (-.004
in.) and -0.20 mm (-.008 in.). The motor has four
different sizes of spacers to get the correct center pin to
port plate distance. There is a minimum spacer size.
Each succeeding size of spacer is 0.10 mm (.004 in.)
thicker. Depending on the dial indicator reading, the
correct spacer is selected.

For example, tolerance for dimension (B) is -0.40 mm

(-.016 in.) on the dial indicator. In this case, remove the
spacer with the minimum thickness and replace with a
spacer that increases the indicator reading by 0.20
mm(.008 in.) to give a B dimension of 136.3 mm (5.366
in.).
Once the correct spacer has been selected, the center
pin (4) can be removed. The four compression springs
(5) can then be inserted using a piece of wire (20) as a
guide.
